Best answer
Animals migrate over long distances by using a variety of navigational cues. They often rely on celestial cues such as the position of the sun and stars, as well as magnetic fields and visual landmarks. Some species also use their sense of smell or echolocation to navigate. Additionally, animals may have a genetically programmed "map" that allows them to follow the same migration paths year after year. During their journey, animals may alternate between flying, swimming, or walking, depending on their species and the environmental conditions they encounter. Overall, successful migration requires a combination of innate abilities and experience accrued over generations.

Just like people going on long distance journey, they migrate and stop over, get food relax and continue the journey. This is also applicable to animals, some animals like birds can migrate between different continents especially during change in season.

Animals migrate over long distances for a variety of reasons, including to find food, to escape unfavorable conditions, or to breed. Many animals migrate in groups, following a specific route that is determined by the environment and the availability of food and resources along the way. Some animals, such as birds, use the stars and other celestial objects to navigate their migrations, while others use the Earth's magnetic field.
